Thousands of mourners and law enforcement officials from across the country paid their respects to a San Jose police officer killed in the line of duty.

KCRA's Hearst content partner, the San Francisco Chronicle, reported Thursday that a solemn motorcade of patrol motorcycles slowly escorted the body of Michael Johnson from a funeral home in suburban Los Gatos, California to a San Jose arena for the memorial services.

The 38-year-old was fatally shot March 24 while responding to reports of a suicidal man with a gun.

Scott Dunham shot Johnson from a second-floor balcony with a high-powered rifle. Another officer shot and killed the 57-year-old Dunham.
